The property features many of the same amenities found at other W hotels. The spa, AWAY, offers treatments designed to detoxify and release tension. The pool, WET, is surrounded by comfortable chaise lounges. The hotel also features Rice, a restaurant featuring contemporary cuisine and Beach, a tropical-themed, open-air lounge. The W San Diego rooftop bar is now open to the public and Kelvin restaurant is opening on May 14th.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

I was looking for a hotel room for the night, to explore downtown with my boyfriend. Great location, in a quieter area of downtown. The hotel is absolutely beautiful inside. The room was very roomy, clean and comfortable. I will definitely stay here again!

Great Hotel, Reasonable Price

Beautiful, trendy place, comfortable bed...room wasn't read till a couple hours after when we should have been able to check in, but they made it up to us, and the wine mixer at 5 was nice. Also, not too bad of a walk to the bay. Classy place, great stay.

Christmas Outing

The hotel was awesome. The staff were genuinely polite. Even after having to work on the holiday. We travel often to San Diego. We have stayed at several hotels. This is by far the best one. Everything was GREAT!

Sightseeing tip:
Short drive from hotel

This hotel is very well centralized. Everything is a short cab ride away. For the price of parking you can catch a cab. Which works out well if you plan to party it up.

Trip purpose:

Most amazing staff

I can't tell you enough about how great the staff was. From the valet always opening the door with a pleasant greeting to the front desk arranging something specia for our weekend celebration. It was our first time staying here but not our last. Thank you W for the most amazing weekend.

Trip purpose:

Pleasant short stay

This hotel location has a trendy interior design, standard amenities and a very friendly staff, and a short walk to the Gaslamp District.
Pros close distance to downtown area (5 min cab/ 25 min walk); just a few miles from airport; lobby serves complientary cold fruit flavored water and snacks; friendly staff
Cons room seemed outdated and dim, not as trendy as lobby; TV on fritz; and bedding was uncomfortable in particular comforter and pillows.
This was a social visit so we didn't spend much time in room so while the cons aren't deal breakers, it would have given a higher rating.
